Commitment to your goals becomes visible when a difficulty interrupts the plan. This reflection asks what I really want, what effort I am prepared to give and how I respond when enthusiasm meets a test.
If you really really really – like really really – want it, you’ll get it.
But be prepared for the challenges.
Be ready for the tests.
Be ready for the negative people.
Be ready for the ones who don’t believe in you.
Be also ready for the ones who actually believe in you but don’t admit it because they don’t want to see you fly and will tell you “You can’t do that.”
If you know what you want, and you’re all in, then you’ll see the challenges as what they are: to see if you really want it.
And sometimes you think you want “it”, but after the first challenge you give up, meaning that it wasn’t after all that important to you. That’s why you didn’t do it.
That’s why didn’t go all in.
The test showed what it meant to you.
Not much.
So, how much do you really want it?
Whatever “it” is.
Go all in or go home.
If you do really want to get somewhere in life, then say it, write it and mean it.
“I’m all in. No matter what.
I’m all in. No mercy.”
Good luck.
